Disney's California Adventure Project Tracker II

I'll be taking shots of EVERYTHING in there if I go this weekend.

I'm nervous. I love things like the Sun Wheel so much because they hold so many memories. I don't want to lose those feelings for the park with all these changes.

I love Sunshine and Paradise so much. =(

You can't lose the memories walt jr. You will get to make new memories with all the changes happening.

But you can't stop change any more than you can stop the suns from setting.

Now, be brave, and don't look back. Don't look back.

I'm just loving all this stuff! Can't wait to see it in December!

The Screamin's quene looks kinda wiers, but the new carousel building will be awesome.

Same here - don't see the scream'n queue. Maybe I overlooked it?

And is the Parachute Drop definitely army men themed? I hope not! I don't mind a parachute drop, but not too keen on a green army men theme.

Not sure about the trolley. Where does it go? It looks like it goes to Hollywood and then disappears only to reappear at the enterance.Is it a one way ride? Also won't it have to stop to avoid hitting kids and strollers crossing the tracks? Seems like it could be a slow ride.

The horse drawn trolley in Disneyland doesn't stop. They ring the bell and the people move out of its way.

I LOVE the new look of the south end of the pier where Screamin' comes out over the lagoon pre-launch. The rockwork is really cool as is the new "decking" for the pier there.

I'm in that group that has yet to see the new Screamin' queue. Can someone point me to the art work that shows that please (if it exists)?

As for the rock work near the Screamin' launch, there's already a line of rocks along there, all it appears they are adding is a larger but small bunch of rocks right where Screamin' comes out from under the pier.

Yeah, the current rock work conceals the emergency exit walkway, track supports, electrical components from view by those across the lagoon. They also, when the wave machine is working, provide a really authentic break-water for the waves coming in. Which can be fun when a good one breaks just right and splashes you. But as it is just this line of rocks without really being attached to anything, it looks kind of strange. Building the rocks back with additional rockwork up to the edge of the pier makes it look like the coaster is coming out of a seaside cave almost.

I wonder if you go through a rock tunner when going under the walkway. That would be awesome!

I hadn't noticed that, or heard anyone else bring it up.

Good observation!

Assuming this model is near to final...

I like the idea of the coaster coming out of a cave. Also, I noticed that, though we can't see the whole queue, there seems to be more open space and decking right at the beginning of the Screamin' queue. And the fence work along the curved pier is "thicker". Finally, there's a trellis at the northern end of the circular pier area.
